India history and geography
Source: Wikipedia: India HistoryVappuvanna was followed by Jhanjha. Vappuvanna was a Shilahara ruler of north Konkan branch, or modern-day western India, from 880 CE – 910 CE. Kapardin II was followed by his son Vappuvanna, about whom his successors' records give only conventional praise.(Dept. Gazetteer: 2002)
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasVappuvanna (वप्पुवन्न) of the Śilāhāra line of kings is mentioned in the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Arikesarin”.—Accordingly, “From Kapardin (II) was born his son named the illustrious Vappuvanna, a unique warrior on the earth, courageous on the field of battle. His famous son was the illustrious Jhañjha”.
These copper plates (mentioning Vappuvanna) were found in digging for some works at the Fort of Tanna (Ṭhāṇā) the capital of Salset. The object of the present plates was to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra king Arikesarin, of three villages in the Vatsarāja-viṣaya to the family priest and teacher Tikkapaiya on the occasion of a lunar eclipse which occurred on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka year 939.
